    I have a set of Panasonic surround sound speakers which I want to connect up to a TV I have.

    The speakers are EAS8E001-A (2 front) and EAS8E002-A (2 rear). All are 15W 8Ω and have the red and black spring clips for connecting the cables into.

    The TV is a Toshiba 46BL702B and contains various different ports, most of which aren't for sound...

    I'm guessing that I need to use the Headphone port if I want to use the speakers - am I correct?

    What is the easiest way to get the four speakers set up to the port? Where is a suitable place to source the parts required?

    I don't think the tv has an amplification board for speakers. They need an amplifier of some description between the (line level) out of the tv and the speakers

    Ok thanks. Showing my lack of knowledge here but do the likes of the soundboard and subwoofers on sale have built in amplifiers?

    Are there decent but small amps (with remote control) that you'd recommend? I'd rather not have a large amp (as in stereo size) beside the tv.
